Check Your Fridge! Cottage Cheese Is Being Recalled
Do you buy dairy at Walmart? If so, take a moment to check your fridge. Some “Great Value” cottage cheese products sold at Walmart stores have been recalled because of a possible health risk. The Food and Drug Administration shared the news after the manufacturer found an issue with how the product was processed.
The recall affects several varieties of Great Value cottage cheese that were sold between February 17 and February 20 in 24 states including Georgia and Texas. These include fat free, low fat, and regular small curd cottage cheese in various container sizes.
Officials say the problem may be that some liquid dairy ingredients were not fully pasteurized, which means harmful bacteria might not have been completely killed. That can be dangerous, especially for young children, older adults, pregnant women, and people with weaker immune systems.
So what should you do? Do not eat the recalled products. Instead you can return them to Walmart for a full refund or throw them away. While there have been no reported illnesses so far, it’s better to be safe and check your dates and labels before eating.
Here’s a quick list of the exact Great Value cottage cheese products being recalled so you can check your fridge and take action:
